Move to Shopify without losing your data or your rankings
Full platform migrations from Magento, WooCommerce, Shopware and others. Data migration, URL redirect mapping and a clean handover so you can start trading on Shopify from day one.
A migration handled well protects everything you have built.
Moving platforms is one of the highest-risk technical projects an ecommerce brand can undertake. Done badly, a migration can wipe out organic rankings, lose order history and break integrations the business depends on.
We have handled migrations from Magento, WooCommerce, Shopware and a number of bespoke platforms. Every migration includes a full data audit, structured redirect mapping and thorough QA before go-live. We do not sign off until we are confident the transition will be clean.
Every product, order and customer makes the move.
Products, variants, customers, order history and reviews: all mapped and migrated to Shopify with integrity checks throughout so nothing is lost. We audit your data quality before migration begins, clean what needs cleaning and verify the Shopify output matches what came in.
100% URL redirect coverage before a single page goes live.
Every existing URL mapped to its Shopify equivalent with 301 redirects in place before launch. Meta titles, descriptions and structured data replicated in Shopify so search engines see a clean, authoritative transition. Rankings tracked from the day the new site goes live. Most clients see minimal impact when the migration is handled properly.
Stores we have migrated and built on Shopify
We manage the go-live and stay close in the weeks after.
Migration is not a single event. It is a process. We audit your existing platform, build the redirect map, migrate the data, configure your integrations and QA the new store before anything goes live. Post-launch we monitor rankings, traffic and any technical issues closely. Anything that surfaces is dealt with immediately.
Common questions about migrating to Shopify
We handle migrations from Magento 1, Magento 2, WooCommerce, Shopware, PrestaShop and most other ecommerce platforms. If you are on something more bespoke, get in touch and we will assess it.
Any migration carries some SEO risk. Our approach minimises this through thorough redirect mapping, SEO element replication and close monitoring in the weeks following launch. Most clients see minimal ranking impact when the migration is handled properly.
Everything is migrated. Orders, customers and where possible, reviews. We run integrity checks throughout to ensure nothing is lost in the transfer.
It depends on data volume and platform complexity. A straightforward WooCommerce to Shopify migration typically takes 8 to 12 weeks. A large Magento migration with complex integrations may take longer. We scope it honestly before any work begins.
Yes. Most migrations are a good opportunity to redesign. We can handle a full bespoke Shopify build alongside the migration or migrate to a new custom theme as part of the same project.
Yes. We handle migrations to both standard Shopify and Shopify Plus. We will advise which tier is right for your requirements during the initial discovery.
